Training My Guinea Pig

Question
I'm trying to train my Guinea Pig to do a trick "circle" but he doesn't seem interested. What can I do?

Answer
Hi Grace,

Guinea pigs, adorable as they are, are not overly intelligent animals and so training them is nigh-impossible. Try using a treat or his favourite food to get him to go in a circle; guinea pigs are ruled by their stomachs so he'll follow his nose to the food!

Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.

Jenny.
